        Accuracy and Sensitivity

        MPS™ Flammable Gas Sensor Precision

        With a remarkable resolution of 0.1 %LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), the MPS™ flammable gas sensors showcases its incredible precision. This means it can detect even the slightest changes in gas concentration, ensuring your safety and providing early warnings when needed. When every detail matters, trust Nevadanano’s sensors to deliver the utmost accuracy in monitoring flammable gases.

        Speed

        The MPS™ flammable gas sensors boasts lightning-fast response times, with a remarkable T90 of under 20 seconds. This means it can rapidly detect and provide precise measurements in the blink of an eye when it comes to potentially dangerous gas levels. Speed and accuracy are our top priorities, ensuring your safety and peace of mind in critical situations.

        Measurement range

        The MPS™ flammable gas sensors are designed to thrive in diverse environments, with an impressive operational range. It can operate reliably in temperatures ranging from a frigid -40°C to a scorching 75°C, ensuring versatility in various conditions. With a humidity tolerance spanning from 0% to 100% relative humidity (%RH), it’s equipped to handle moisture variations. Additionally, it comfortably operates under pressures between 80 kPa and 120 kPa. This broad environmental operating range showcases the sensor’s robustness and adaptability for your gas detection needs.

        Operating Principle

        The MPS™ Mini Flammable Gas Sensor’s transducer is a micro-machined membrane with an embedded Joule heater and resistance thermometer. The MEMS transducer is mounted on a PCB and packaged inside a rugged enclosure open to ambient air. Presence of a flammable gas causes changes in the thermodynamic properties of the air/ gas mixture that are measured by the transducer. Sensor data are processed by patent-pending algorithms to report an accurate concentration and classify the flammable gas.
